To configure automatic upgrade

Display the Administration menu and select Configure Domain Server.
Select Client Upgrade Options.
Select the check box to Enable automatic upgrade of clients.
If the client has a different build number to the Data Protector Express Backup Server, it
is a candidate for upgrading. This applies even if the Data Protector Express Backup
Server has a lower build number. However, to ensure you do not inadvertently overwrite
a newer version on the client, you must actively select Allow downgrade if older build
installed on Backup Server, if you want the client to downgrade to an earlier version.
The Max number of active upgrade downloads value defines how many clients can be
upgraded simultaneously. The number of concurrent updates should be based on your
network traffic and bandwidth.

During Automatic Upgrade

In order to support automatic client upgrade, the installer is allowed to force close the
Data Protector Express administrative application and Quick Access Control, but first it
displays a warning to the user. The user must click Yes to continue or No to cancel the
upgrade.
The client is marked as offline during the upgrade process.

Why Does an Upgrade Fail?

Typical problems include processes that cannot be killed, or permission restrictions on
the host. A client will only try to run the upgrade process once, so if it fails, it will not try
to upgrade again unless the service is restarted.
